About John Finnigan

When this property was listed in October 2014 we knew we wanted to own the house. John lived in Gilbertsville through high school and college until his first career job took him out of New York State. Gilbertsville has remained in his heart and many of his vacations have taken him back to his roots. His children spent weeks of many summers with their loving grandparents who lived in another beautiful home in Gilbertsville. That home was sold when they retired to Florida, before John was ready to buy it. Years later he had an opportunity to purchase a home in Butternut Valley. We are ready to share it with our guests.

John Finnigan purchased this house in 2014

Why John Finnigan chose Gilbertsville

This home made several connections for John. The location is one block from his childhood home and across the street from his sister's vacation home. The size of the house is perfect for vacationing families who want to spend time together. The kitchen is large enough for multiple cooks and hungry snackers at the same time. The yard is large enough, almost an acre, that croquet and badminton and dog walking can all take place at the same time. The backyard fire pit is perfect for early evening and late night time around the fire, talking, reminiscing and catching up.

What makes this house unique

The house itself retains much of it's historical features. The hardwood floors were just refinished and are gorgeous. The molding and wood trim has been cleaned and painted. The children's rooms under the attic eaves are great for little ones and there is a large bedroom with a full size upstairs as well for supervising adults. The living room is spacious for a large group with couches cozy enough for napping or sitting with a book or a tablet.

Wonderful house!

The home is very beautiful, we made a lot of memories and enjoyed the home very much! The owners are very informative and helpful. I would recommend this property and hope to stay again one day in the future.

Beautiful and comfortable

John was extremely helpful and accommodating. The house was a GREAT location for a destination wedding. With 6 bedrooms it was large enough to accommodate my family with space for visiting, dining and running around a huge yard. I would recommend John's house to anyone visiting the area for a wedding or Cooperstown. I would definitely come back to John's lovely house.

Great weekend in Gilbertsville

We stayed at this charming house for the weekend of June 23rd, we were attending a wedding at Gilbertsville Farmhouse. The house was very nice and had everything we needed, we had three couples stay and everyone was very impressed with my choice of lodging. John, the owner of the house was very helpful with booking info beforehand, and checked in with us to make sure we checked in to the house with no problems. The house is in a great location, it is just a few steps from the center of town, so walking around is easy. it is a very charming old town, and we walked around and popped in to many old shops and the library, where everyone loved to tell us the story of their buildings and businesses. We stopped in to an antique store, which was built in 1802, and the owner took us upstairs to see where Civil War soldiers had signed their names on the wall of the barn shortly after the war. That was very cool. The wedding site was a 5 minute drive away, so this is a great house to stay at for weddings, or just a quiet weekend away.

Beautiful House, much bigger than expected, dog friendly!

We rented 25 Maple Street for a long weekend. My daughter was being married at the Gilbertsville Farmhouse. The house was less then 2 miles from the venue. So it was a perfect location for us. The house is spotless, the beds are super comfortable. The house is located on a quiet street, with beautiful historic homes. We were able to enjoy a glass of wine on the front porch after we got there. The house is much larger than we ever imagined. We were very lucky that we found such a nice house, that was dog friendly. The owners couldn't be nicer! I am so happy that we rented this house, I highly recommend it!

The town of Gilbertsville and the surrounding area is beautiful and peaceful. If you are looking to escape and unwind we can assure you Gilbertville will offer options for leisure and relaxation. You will welcome the peace and quiet of a long walk or a more strenuous hike. You can visit nearby farmer's markets for fresh baked bread and produce and linger to look at the farm animals. There are antique shops nearby and unique local shops owned and operated by neighbors.

The nearby towns of Cooperstown, Oneonta, Sidney and Morris offer more history and more activity for nature lovers, outdoor enthusiasts, sports enthusiasts, and anyone looking for easy rest and relaxation.

The town itself has a fascinating history. The National Register of Historic Places awarded recognition of the entire village of Gilbertsville as an Historic District in May 1983. Overlook Park is a 100 year old park next to a stone arch bridge and surrounded by stone buildings. The Gilbertsville Free Library was built in 1818 as an academy and was converted to a library in 1888. It was the first Free Association Library in Otsego County. Tianderah is a stone Romanesque Revival residence built in 1887 dramatically overlooking the village and complemented by a stone and shingle style stable.

Beyond the fascinating history of the town there is the beauty of nature and outdoor activities for every season of the year.

Our house is approximately a 45-50 minute drive from Cooperstown and the dreams field baseball park. The All Star Village baseball fields in Oneonta are only a 25-30 minute car ride from our house in Gilbertsville.
